Solitaire

There are a few ways to win this game, and it isn't very challenging. If you don't know how to play, you need to collect all the suits in order or rank. Cards on the table get sorted from K (King) to A (Ace). Aces are placed in the completed pile on the top-right and are stacked until the King is on top.

The rank of cards in Solitaire games is: K (high), Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, A (low)

The draw pile on the top will reveal one card at a time. If you can't place the card on a card worth one higher on the table, or one lower on the completed pile, draw a new card.

Moving a card on the table from one row to another will reveal the card beneath it. Once you move the last card in a column, you can move a K card there to start a new column. Once you sort all the cards in the completed pile in order, you win.

Wiring the Phone

To get the phone working at the reception desk, you need to connect each wire to the same coloured port. The tricky part is you cannot cross any wires. Below is the solution:

Torn Picture

To solve the torn picture puzzle, just drag each piece to put the picture back together correctly. Once a peice is put in the correct spot it will lock into place. The image below shows the solution:

Kinskey's Lock

To unlock Kinskey's luggage, you need to move the locking mechanism along a path, but some areas turn when you move to limit your access forward. The image below shows the solution:

Flaming Slide Tiles

You need to move the tiles around but you only have one open space to do so. You can tell which piece belongs where thanks to the border that is on the tile. There are many solutions, but the two below are the fastest at 26 moves.

Option 1: left, up, right, down, left, left, up, right, right, down, left, left, up, up, right, down, left, down, right, up, right, down, left, left, up, up.

Option 2: up, up, left, left, down, right, up, right, down, left, down, left, up, up, right, down, down, right, up, left, left, down, right, up, left, up

Cryptic Crossword

The crossword puzzle is overly simple. The words only go left to right, and the rest of the filler is just the alphabet. If you still can't find all the words, the solution is below:

Medicine Chest

The correct space for each item is easily identified by their shaped impression in the fabric. The solution is below:

Cellar Door

Place the gears in an alternating pattern to connect them all, then spin the turnkey to unlatch the door.

Ulla's Room Changed

There are five differences in the room; a pillow, bottle, vase, coin purse and a clock face.

Broken Record

Place the thirteen pieces of record in the correct places. Once it is together, use the glue to seal everything together. Now, use the lever and flip the switch to start playing the record.

Prints in the Snow

With so many guests moving through this area, the shoe prints have been covered and fragmented. There are ten groups of prints in total.
